What to expect
You'll move through the museum independently, stopping at displays and interactive stations featuring everything from 1980s home consoles to current-generation hardware. Each section tracks gaming's technical evolution and cultural moments. Most visitors spend time actually playing rather than just looking—bring patience if queues form at popular machines. Prams fit comfortably in corridors, and the entire venue is flat and accessible. Expect a mix of nostalgia and genuine surprise at how much gaming changed in just four decades.
